Abstract

Wayne Meeks argues that Philo’s presentation of Moses as king, prophet, and priest in De vita Mosis may reflect the traditions lying behind the Fourth Gospel’s depiction of Jesus as both prophet and king. This article proposes more specific parallels between the prophetic roles in De vita Mosis and the Gospel. First, the water miracle at the wedding in Cana (John 2:1–11) has substantial similarities to Philo’s rewriting of Moses’s water miracles in the wilderness (Mos. 1.181–213) that are not shared by the LXX (Exod 15, 17). Second, both the Gospel and Philo assign to the prophetic office a close proximity to the divine. Third, in both the Gospel and Philo, the prophet is a heavenly revealer who returns to the Father. Philo thus helps explain Jesus’s prophetic role in the Fourth Gospel, not simply regarding the merging of prophet with king, but also regarding the particular form that prophecy takes.
《斐罗书》和《第四福音》中的预言
韦恩·米克斯认为,菲罗在《摩西的生活》中把摩西描述为国王、先知和祭司,这可能反映了第四部福音书中对耶稣既是先知又是国王的描述背后的传统。本文提出了《摩西的生活》和《福音书》中先知角色之间更具体的相似之处。首先,迦拿婚礼上的水奇迹(约翰福音2:1-11)与斐罗重写摩西在旷野的水奇迹(摩1:18 1 - 213)有很大的相似之处,而LXX没有分享(出埃及记15,17)。第二,福音书和斐洛都认为先知的职位与神的职位非常接近。第三,在福音书和斐罗书中,先知都是天上的启示者,回到天父那里。因此,斐洛帮助解释了耶稣在第四福音中的预言角色,不仅仅是关于先知与国王的结合,还包括预言的特殊形式。
